As a quick glance at the national press will tell you,
sport
in Britain is a serious matter, with each international defeat being taken as an index of the country's slide down the scale of world powers. Many of the crucial domestic and international fixtures of the
football
,
rugby
and
cricket
seasons take place in the capital, and London also hosts one of the world's greatest tennis tournaments, the
Wimbledon
championships.
